"What a splendid place, from the rugs and antiques to the china used to serve the wonderful (absolutely gourmet) Romantic Candle Light dinner on the Mediterranean Courtyard to the completely delicious breakfast. House: The bedrooms are all furnished with excellent mattresses that slept wonderfully. We happen to have bad backs and usually one night in a strange bed does us in, but not here. The king size bed in the Scarlet room was perfect with a soft topper and firmness and support beneath. Each room has its own bathroom and two have balconies. Fortunately, the Scarlet Room was one. What a plus that was. We love outside and enjoyed the privacy of having a balcony room to sit and enjoy (most rooms in B&B’s don’t provide that- and two rooms here do). The open public rooms of the house are filled with a fascinating touch of the Near East. The Turkish rugs abound complemented with antique groupings. I was wondering when the magic one was going to take off and fly me away, but I think it already had, for the time spent there was magical indeed. Food: Talk about a chef and gourmet meal. The menu is set up so that you can fulfill your dietary needs from normal, religiously restricted to vegetarian. We saw all the items we loved but chose to select something that we did not have out or at home. The serving was unobtrusive. See if you can find the secret serving passageway. Only an old mansion would come with one of those. Owners: Lela and Mehmet Ozelsel are such gracious hosts making sure they are catering to you and your needs and living up to their promise of unforgettable impressions. Thank you for a memory that we will carry for a long time. Hope to see you again soon. "
